Buyer’s Guide: Women’s Road Bikes

Specialized Amira SL 4 Pro SRAM Compact

6 / 9

Amira is an Arabic and Hebrew word that means “princess.” But don’t get the wrong impression: Despite its regal looks, this bike means business. Built with the same carbon materials and frame technologies as the Tarmac SL4 ridden by Tour de France pros, it’s light, stiff, and accelerates with a snap. The only difference is that the Amira’s geometry is designed to fit female riders, and it comes with a women’s race saddle.
